Screenshots of Hare's previous posts. They read "Keep that (pickled egg as been crossed out by me) away from my ass. Just another normal sentence I've written on social media today. Mouth is fine, though."

A photo of my tv showing Vic Reeves Big Night Out on it! It shows a purple TV set, band in the background, Vic Reeves in a white suit behind a pale blue desk with bizarre gold decorations and too many mics on it and Bob Mortimer next to the desk as The Man With The Stick.

Sometimes you stumble upon a cultural artifact and it makes you wonder if the universe you have found yourself in is the same one you went to sleep in the day before.

Which is another way of saying, what the fuck do you mean Frank Zappa starred in Miami Vice?
Frank Zappa in Miami Vice! He has short hair and a mustache, and is wearing a black button down shirt with blue and purple patterning under a dark blue jacket with satin trim, and high waisted blue trousers held up with a leather belt

I discovered a bizarre answer to this today! Got advertised a new local lingerie brand what bizarrely had Bible verses all over everything. I thought that was odd until I realised sexy underwear is obviously acceptable in an extremist religious context if they're reclaiming it from the Trans Devils
An Instagram post - it's red text on a yellow background and reads "Batya Intimates exists to design modest, feminine lingerie that honours the body, uplifts the soul, and reflects the sacred beauty of womanhood. Through intentional design, faith-rooted storytelling, and a women-only space, we help women reclaim confidence, dignity, and divine self-love."

My turn now.
Does this function as a public apology @danmckee.bsky.social ?
A cropped screenshot of a text on whatsapp sent by me that reads "So yes, less of a case of "Am I crazy?" and more a case of "In which way am I crazy?"" With a laughing emoji at the end

What happens when @danmckee.bsky.social and I are still taking at midnight
A screenshot of whatsapp messages sent to me. It's a meme picture of a cat looking half suspicious, half deeply pleased with itself, followed by a message that reads "Right I'm going to bed. It's all gone mad. What a wonderful chat this was."

Repost this with your significant other (not really - but I wish)
Rik Mayall as Robin Hood and Kate Moss as Maid Marian in a promotional shot for Blackadder Back and Forth. She's wearing a white blouse with puffy sleeves and matching brown suede waistcoat and trousers, with plaits in her hair. He's wearing a hat with a feather and green tunic with a shirt underneath, sleeves rolled up. He has a mustache and golden curls. He's flashing a sultry look at the camera while holding her from behind with one arm over hers with his hand on her shoulder and the other wrapped around her waist with his hand on her stomach and her hand on top.

No, come on, that wasn't even 20 minutes before another complaint!
A bluesky reply from me which reads "So much complaining from men who are exactly the ages men are most attractive at! You're all mad!" It is timestamped for 18 minutes ago

I have a differing view on this.
Screenshot of whatsapp messages from me. They read "What ever happened to all the foot pervs? I've gone from one extreme to the other, seems to be nothing in between. Before Covid I couldn't move for foot pervs. Now there's a conspiracy theory nobody's put forward yet."
